Today, Lachryma Christi brings you a review for the upcoming album of Ringarë, Of Momentous Endless Night. For those who don't know, Ringarë are from the USA, and this will be their third full-length.
So, what can you expect?
There four tracks of a very interesting melodic Black Metal music.
I'm impressed with how fast those drums can get, and I think I haven't heard anything of the sort in such melodic kind of Black Metal.
The keyboards are as predominant as any other instrument in all the songs. Although they bring a very deep and intense atmosphere to the music, they are not just background sound. They really are a central part of the whole thing, which isn't very common either in Black Metal. And it sounds really good in this particular case.
Besides the usual dragged and more high pitched than not voice, so traditional in Black Metal music, there are clean male voices too, bringing a very epic feeling to the whole release.
Although I've done it before, I don't really like comparing bands, but I can tell there are influences of melodic metal music from late 90s and early 2000s. However, they still can be original.
Meaning, there is a bit of a nostalgic feeling when listening to Of Momentous Endless Night, but at the same time, this album brings fresh air to this type of music.
So if you like the more melodic, although very fast Black Metal music, with epic clean voices, haunting keyboard strings and melancholic pianos, you'll love this album.
Of Momentous Endless Night is coming out very soon, on the 15th of December, through Avantgarde Music.
